[00:00:24:03] When I was little my grandma played piano a lot.
[00:00:27:03] So... *sniffs*
[00:00:30:04] I never really learned how to play but it was something that she taught me a little bit.
[00:00:33:04] [ Interviewer ] So she played in the house with you? Mhmm
[00:00:36:04] [ Interviewer ] Sort of mini recitals?
[00:00:37:04] Yeah she just, I mean she had a they had a baby grand at their house.

[00:00:53:06] Snare drum. [ Interviewer ] How did you decide that?
[00:00:56:06] Uh I wanted to play trombone originally but my mom talked me out of it
[00:01:00:06] because she said she couldn't get any noise out of a horn so I probably wouldn't be able to either.
[00:01:04:07] [ Interviewer ] *laughs* And she told me that she played the drums and I was like
[00:01:08:08] "ooh mom did that so I want to do it too."
[00:01:11:08] [ Interviewer ] So did uh, did both your parents play music instru- musical instruments?
[00:01:15:08] Uh yup my dad plays guitar and my mom plays pretty much whatever she wants to. *laughs*
[00:01:19:08] [ Interviewer ] And do they still play it even today?
[00:01:21:27] Uh not so much today but for a, when I was little my dad played guitar a lot.
[00:01:25:28] [ Interviewer ] Did you ever end up learning to play guitar? Nope. *laughs*
[00:01:29:28] [ Interviewer ] *sniffs*
[00:01:33:28] [ Interviewer ] So you started music, again fifth grade,
[00:01:37:28] Why did you keep up? Why did you keep on doing that then?
[00:01:40:28] I just found that I really really liked it and
[00:01:44:29] part of it was up until then in school we had to sing
[00:01:48:29] and the big kids got to be in band and I wanted to do what the big kids did. [ Interviewer ] *laughs*
[00:01:52:29] [ Interviewer ] What was uh what was the band class and music like
[00:01:56:29] in high school?
[00:01:58:00] Umm what do you mean?
[00:02:01:00] [ Interviewer ] So like did you have, did you participate in like
[00:02:04:00] music ensembles, bands, or like music theory classes?
[00:02:08:01] Umm really uh it was they were all ensembles.
[00:02:12:01] Pretty much. And I joined marching band in, I joined my high school
[00:02:16:01] marching band in the 8th grade and then I sort of, then I stuck with. [ Interviewer ] Mhmm.
[00:02:20:01] I wouldn't have kept playing after middle school if it hadn't been for that. So-
[00:02:22:02] [ Interviewer ] Really? Yeah
[00:02:24:02] [ Intervewer ] Well why's that?
[00:02:26:03] Um by the time I was in the eight grade I was kind of I really didn't like practicing very much. *mutual chuckles*
[00:02:30:03] And, I don't know, some of the fun was starting to wear off
[00:02:34:04] and then I think at the end of my seventh grade year my teacher
[00:02:38:05] came up to me she said "Hey we need cymbal players. Do you want to do this?" [ Interviewer ] *laughs*
[00:02:42:05] And it was really fun so.
[00:02:44:06] [ Interviewer ] So you played cymbals initially in your high school band?
[00:02:46:06] Yup [ Interviewer ] And then did you play any other instruments?
[00:02:49:07] I played bass drum my freshman and sophomore year and then snare my junior and senior year.
[00:02:53:08] [ Interviewer ] *sniffs* Did you ever, uh, take like private lessons
[00:02:57:08] on any of these instruments?
[00:02:59:09] Um I took private lessons for, ah, on snare drum and then on drumset.
[00:03:03:09] [ Interviewer ] Mkay. *sniffs* Did you ever, did you play in any bands er like
[00:03:07:10] jazz grou- ensembles on drumset?
[00:03:09:10] Yup I was in jazz band and then I was orchestra for the musicals.
[00:03:13:10] Those were all drumset.
[00:03:15:11] [ Interviewer ] What were your um like private lessons like? On, on like drumset?
[00:03:19:12] Um. [ Interviewer ] LIke for instance who was your teacher?
[00:03:23:12] Steve Dodge. For Columbus Percussion. [ Interviewer ] Mhmm.
[00:03:27:12] [ Interviewer ] How long were like the lessons? About half an hour.
[00:03:29:13] [ Interviewer ] Would you go like once a week or so?
[00:03:32:14] Yeah, usually run ran over *mutual chuckles* [ Interviewer ] *sniffs*
[00:03:35:14] [ Interviewer ] Did you like doing drumset more than snare drum
[00:03:38:15] or snare drum more than drums?
[00:03:41:15] Um, I don't know. At first drumset
[00:03:44:16] was kind of intimidating because there were lots of -- *laughs* there was a lot going on.
[00:03:47:16] [ Interviewer ] Mhmm. So...
[00:03:50:17] I don't know I think once I started college I liked
[00:03:54:18] snare drum a little bit more [ Interviewer ] Mhmm. Um but yeah.
[00:03:58:18] It was, there was a lot of talking in lessons *door closes* and sometimes it was really frustrating
[00:04:02:19] cause he would make me slow down everything. [ Interviewer ] Mhmm.
[00:04:05:19] It's like you have to slowly so you nee- can play it faster.
[00:04:08:20] But it ended up working even though I cursed a lot of the times
[00:04:12:20] Why are you making me do this? [ Interviewer ] How do you practice?
[00:04:16:21] [ Interviewer ] Like for instance on snare drum. What are you like, start up slow and then speed it up?
[00:04:20:22] Yup [ Interviewer ] Just rep it over and over?
[00:04:21:22] Yup.
[00:04:23:23] [ Interviewer ] K and so an I'll guess the end what's like your very favorite
[00:04:27:23] of all the instruments to play?
[00:04:29:23] That's really hard, I don't know. *mutual chuckles*
[00:04:35:11]
[00:04:38:11] Drumset. Just cuz I don't get to play it very often [ Interviewer ] Mhmm.
